Translated by William Belton
Colour plates by Paul Barruel and John P O'Neill
A substantially revised and updated English-language version of Ornitologia Brasileira: uma Introducao, published in Brazil in 1985. Until his death in 1991, Sick made extensive revisions to both the text and plates, and most of the introductory chapters have been rewritten - a new chapter on conservation reviews the current problems facing Brazil's avifauna. The only comprehensive scientific treatment of Brazil's 1635 bird species, it lists every individual Brazilian species in systematic order, with detailed accounts for most, plus extensive treatment of the characteristics of each bird family, and an analysis of the composition of the Brazilian avifauna.
`The combination of a perfect work of translation, a valuable contribution to Brazilian ornithology and a more experienced publisher has made this book a must for English readers interested in Brazilian, or, indeed, in South American birds.' Thais Martins, IBIS
